The AKA is often the best value in Boston. The location is key as it is close to Back Bay station if you come by train, but mostly it’s perfectly located near the commons, a couple of blocks from Newbury street and short walks to Beacon Hill or the South End. The rooms are very tasteful, very clean, comfortable and spacious. Plenty of amenities like a steamer, bathrobes, etc… A large lounge off the lobby where you can work of meet clients, and a solid restaurant with an excellent breakfast and good bar. All in all, it is subtle luxury and the smartest choice for my needs. Often, I find it priced correctly, slightly lower than the nearby competition and that clinches the deal!

The only luxury feature of this hotel was location. I booked the room for 4 occupants, but the setting was standard - 2 ppl, room had 2 gowns, towels and so on set up for 2 people. Room didn’t have slippers, show horse… etc… upon checking out I asked the guy at the reception- he’s response was “You should have called” … really?!?
